BEIRUT: The patient who was said to have been showing symptoms of Ebola and reportedly tested at Beirut's Rafik Hariri University Hospital Thursday was never suspected to have been infected with the disease, a hospital official told The Daily Star, saying that hospital workers were conducting a drill.

The doctor responsible for "testing" the patient is “100 percent sure that it is not an Ebola case, but we are treating it as if it was a real case as an exercise for potential future cases," the official said.
